Even stupider with Bulldog's injury is that it happened at Fall Brawl when there was an entire other ring set up which didn't have a trapdoor and could have been safely used instead.

@aliciasimmons8473 Год назад

Omg there was another ring dam that's even worse could of used that ring

Gods could you imagine Pillman at the height of the Attitude Era? I mean his character pretty much already was attitude era before the attitude era, but the matches we could have had. Breaks your heart.

@grandmastermario3695 Год назад

I feel sorry for Pillman he had a pretty bad upbringing and then was involved in a car accident man how sad 😔

@tonyreimer6804 Год назад

The worst thing about the Davey Boy’s injury is: THERE WERE 2 RINGS! Why did they have people wrestle on the trap door?

@mox19380 Год назад

there are varied stories that he didn't know, or that he knew and forgot (because supposedly him and neidhart had spend the day doing crack)...but regardless you are right...why weren't they in the ring without the trap door?

@randumbhero3033 Год назад

I’m a friend of Sid’s and I can personally attest to him doing quite a few matches in Osceola, Ar. which is about 45 minutes from where him and his son Gunnar live. Gunnar worked as Lord Humongous and Sid still works under his name. I worked a few matches with him and while he isn’t the Sid we know and love, he’s still got it.

Candice was arguably about to be one of the diva search girls who actually became a damn good wrestler. But that injury ruined EVERYTHING. It’s so sad because I truly believe she was quickly entering her peak athletic ability and could’ve been one of the top women alongside Beth, Mickie, Michelle, Melina ETC

@sevenempestfxntoolsoad3183 Год назад

So sad. She was likable af and over. And could go. Not to mention smokin hot

@davidjsaul Год назад

Bit similar to Trish Stratus IMO in that they both started with essentially zero wrestling talent but actually took it seriously and wanted to learn and so ended up improving massively.

@BFFR5150 Год назад

@@davidjsaul agreed! Every match she showed noticeable improvement, kept getting better & better. Same thing happened with Christy Hemme in TNA, she started really training in the ring and started getting pretty damn good until her back & than eventual ankle injury retired her completely.

I remember watching Fall Brawl when Davey Boy Smith hurt his back. First off, it's sad to say but before the match started you could tell that he wasn't in a good place/way. But I vividly recall seeing him take the bump and immediately telling my friend that I was pretty sure something went wrong. As the match continued you can see how much pain the man was in.

Lets not forget one of the best in ring performers, Bret Hart? Droz was never the same after his injury. Perry Saturn could have been on this list as well. Tazz is another good one.

I got into WWE late 97', and Steve Austin was the greatest face since sliced bread. Going back and watching his earlier work when I got older was an eye opener as he was such a good technician compared to his hey day brawler style. What could have been if he hadn't broken his neck...

@ThunderFist1978 Год назад

I’m pretty sure Scott Steiner wasn’t in WWE either when his injury surfaced.

@cchisolm92cc Год назад

Dynamite Kid's steroid abuse made it easier for him to get injured as well. It's sad that a guy that good suffered by his own doing and made others endure that suffering as well.

@ShiningEternity Год назад

Warrior claims the trap door was only intended to be used one time.

@mcj88 Год назад

How about Velveteen Dream? Even before the stuff about him being a sex pest surfaced, after returning from a back injury his wrestling ability just slowly got worse and worse, to say nothing of the baffling storylines he was involved in; and _then_ the allegations came out that, eventually, sealed his fate.

@Fanfan30303 Год назад

Sid said he never has and never will watch that video. That he didn’t look at it the whole time, and only really researched the injury years later. I couldn’t imagine, I’d be freaking out.

@rriggs6547 Год назад

@@mvjr7758 The video is about wrestlers who were never the same after an injury. Flair's style changed dramatically. And there is a good argument to make that he became what he did because he was forced to change. I doubt he would be remembered today without the plane crash. The same can be said of Austin after the neck injury. He became a brawler from being a technical wrestler. This, when added to the Stone Cold persona made him one of the biggest stars in wrestling history. He was never the same, but it the change was positive.

Paying someone to sit at home... WWE could have used him as a massive Heel. Running into the ring, doing cheap shots on another wrestler being pushed as a Baby Face. Culminating perhaps in a match that would have ended in one minute. Causing more controversy one way or the other, depending on the Finish. Someone of Steiner's caliber being injured but still being able to suit up and walk, WWE were foolish to pay him just to sit at home.
